'The chapters showcase a diverse range of topics and methodologies. Through a series of case studies, the book aims to provide a number of strategies for these actors to realise the goal of preventing impunity for breaches of international law. In doing so, the book illustrates that it is possible for civil society and international lawyers to effect positive change in State-centric international legal institutions … The question of whether human rights change within a State is 'top-down' from international institutions or 'bottom up' from a mobilized society is one that international lawyers often contemplate. This book shows that under certain circumstances, it is possible for civil society to re-describe the issue to achieve some form of international justice, and that in order to do so, international law must couple with other areas, including international politics. Ultimately, this edited collection reminds international lawyers and civil society that instead of calling for reform of international institutions, there are other more effective means of achieving global justice.' Amina Adanan, Journal of Conflict & Security Law (2022)

Jeff Handmaker is a senior lecturer at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, which forms part of Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. In 2017, he was a visiting research fellow in the Department of Sociology at Princeton University, New Jersey. He is also a senior research fellow of the Faculty of Law at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and Editor-in-Chief of the South African Journal on Human Rights. He formerly worked as a practitioner in over fifteen countries, particularly in Southern Africa, Europe and the Middle East as well as with the United Nations and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. As a socio-legal scholar, his research on legal mobilization explores the social and political dimensions of instrumentalising international law in relation to a variety of contexts and themes Karin Arts holds a professorial chair in international law and development at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, which forms part of Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. She sees and studies international law as a major factor in processes of development and/or transition, either as an instrument of change or as a vehicle for guarding the status quo. Human rights-based approaches to development, and in particular child rights-based approaches to development, are central in her recent work. Besides having ample teaching and research experience, she has professional experience in nearly twenty countries, and she advises the Dutch government and parliament on human rights matters (through the Advisory Council on International Affairs). She is also a member of the Supervisory Board of the National UNICEF Committee of the Netherlands.
